Skeletal Throne
The walls of this room were painted white and hold no art. The floors
are made of tightly fitted stone shards, each no larger than a finger.
These are fitted together in such a way that the entire floor represents a
center of the sun a large skeletal throne has been raised. The only exit
blazing sun. Deep claw marks run through the design, defiling it and at the

from this room lies to the west, where a fire blazes through the open door.

Birds burst startled into the sky as the ground rumbles all around you.

Cracking sounds fill the air as the ground continues to shake.

Demonic whispers come from everywhere and nowhere at once.

Dogran looks around thoughtfully.

The ground continues to shake.

Dogran disappears in a mushroom cloud.
A Blanket of Darkness
You strain every fiber of your being but can see nothing. The darkness
pervades your other senses as well, filling you with a sense of despair and
dread. Your heartbeat pounds in your ears, but dully, as if muffled by
layers of stone.

[Exits: none]
Dogran is here.
A demonic shade floats here, exuding an unnatural aura of shadow.
(White Aura) A malignant humanoid figure stands here, engulfed in a miasma of mist.

Dogran says 'Ahh, you've returned. '

Dogran frowns.

Dogran says 'It's that time then?'

The Lord of the Black Torrent says 'I have never left.'

The Lord of the Black Torrent grins evilly.

Dogran snickers softly.

Dogran says 'You know what I mean.'

The Lord of the Black Torrent says 'It is time.'

Dogran says 'It has been some time since our bargain was struck.'

Dogran says 'I have been wondering when you would call on me to fulfill my end.'

The Lord of the Black Torrent says 'One bides...the time, until it is perfect.'

Dogran agrees absolutely.

The Lord of the Black Torrent says 'A lull into a sense of safety.'

Dogran says 'There is no time like now.'

The Lord of the Black Torrent says 'A land full and ripe for the picking.'

Dogran says 'Everyone scrambles like mad to deal with Xanthak, they have forgotten about us.'

Dogran snickers softly.

The Lord of the Black Torrent grins evilly.

The Lord of the Black Torrent says 'They know nothing of what comes.'

Dogran says 'This is it then?'

Dogran looks at a branded demonic shade.

The Lord of the Black Torrent says 'Take it. It will be your company... your conduit... to me.'

Dogran passes his hand through the shade, feeling the icy cold of it pervade his body.
A branded demonic shade hisses as it melds into Dogran's form, leaving behind a mist of dread.

The Lord of the Black Torrent says 'I will be watching. And waiting... to strike.'

Dogran throws his head back, eyes black, darkness swirling up around him.

Dogran gains control of himself.

Dogran says 'Yes... Watching... Waiting.'

Dogran says 'We are ready.'

Dogran grins evilly.

Dogran says 'We will do our part, and the world will tremble.'

Dogran licks his mouth and smiles.

A sense of dread suddenly floods the lands.

Dogran says 'This feeling...'

Dogran says 'It is delightful.'

The Lord of the Black Torrent says 'It is just a beginning.'

The Lord of the Black Torrent says 'Our beginning.'

Dogran agrees absolutely.

The Lord of the Black Torrent grins evilly.

Dogran says 'Yes, our beginning. We will meet again in the coming days.'

Dogran says 'For now... I have some adjusting to do... My head... it's suddenly crowded.'

Dogran snickers softly.

The Lord of the Black Torrent nods.
